  • I assume you know this and are referencing it sarcastically, but just in case you don’t: That was not the original text in the anti-piracy PSA; it was a third party edit making fun of the original PSA that is now widely mistaken as being the original text. The original text was “You wouldn’t steal a car”, not “You wouldn’t download a car”.



  • If you don’t own one, buy the console. The PC path isn’t cheaper once you count the memory market, the unknown requirements and the possibility of a slipped date. A decision built on three unknowns isn’t a plan.

    I really hate this take. If you’re looking at playing this game and only this game in a complete vacuum, the console is cheaper [if you don’t already own a PC], but suggesting that buying a PS5 is a better general purchase than a mid-tier gaming capable PC if cost effectiveness is a concern is just wild. I guess if you’re someone who buys games on day 1 all the time and only plays AAA titles, it doesn’t matter much, but if that’s you, why are you reading this article? You clearly have plenty of disposable income. For someone on the fence about this, the PC almost definitely makes more sense overall unless you specifically want to play PS exclusives and don’t care about any games that aren’t coming to PS. The up-front cost is higher, but you make up for it many times over in what you save on games in the long run, assuming you’re thrifty with your game purchases. This isn’t even mentioning peripherals, or the cost of Playstation Plus or any other similar costs.










  • Hot take: I’d much rather have Dwight as a friend than Jim. He’s eccentric and he’s the butt of the jokes, but he’s shown to be an incredibly reliable friend. He’s always there to help any time someone asks, he’s knowledgeable about a lot of practical matters and is happy to share that knowledge, he’s enthusiastic about his interests, and he’s loyal to his friends. Jim might have some of those traits, too, but we don’t really see it - his primary personality trait is just being a charismatic jokester.



  • I thought it worked well before the first Avengers movie… Each hero had their own movie with no real continuity other than the post-credits scene, and then Avengers - and only Avengers - assumed you’d seen the previous ones. The movies were coming out at a reasonable cadence and there was plenty of time to get up to speed. Then they just went off the rails - interconnected continuity even between individual heroes’ movies and a crazy fast release schedule meant you were either a superfan or you were lost.

    I ended up just watching them at a rate of 1-2 a week leading up to Endgame to get caught up, but it was just way too much.

    • 5 films -> Avengers over a 4 year period was reasonable.
    • 12 more films -> Infinity War over a 6 year period was much less reasonable.
    • 3 more -> Endgame in 1 year was just silly.

    Just went and looked it up, and there were another 16 films leading up to Doomsday over 5 years. They’re just releasing things faster and faster. Who can (or even wants to) keep up with that?






  • Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.

    Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.
